What the housing means for the work
- 1980s and 1990s houses. 47 percent were built between 1980 and 1999. They were built to older energy codes, so attic air sealing is worth pairing with new windows or a roof.
- Rental housing. 33 percent of homes are in buildings with two or more units and 30 percent of households rent. We handle rental maintenance and unit turns.
- Delivered fuel. 67 percent of Derry households heat mainly with oil or propane, so heat kept in by an air-sealed attic is fuel you do not have to buy.
